A man and a woman were found dead in a Mesquite home Tuesday night in what police say is an apparent murder-suicide.

Police conducted a welfare check at a home in the 3400 block of Eastbrook Drive near Town East Boulevard. They found a woman’s body in the kitchen. Clinton Scott, 35, was found in the master bedroom, dead from a gunshot, police said.

It appears Scott shot the woman a few days ago, police said. He later shot himself. Scott had been living at the home for several months, police said.
